Malawi govt makes U-turn on Primary School fees idea

The government of Malawi has categorically dismissed reports that primary school pupils are to pay school fees starting from the currently on-going academic year.

Media reports recently indicated that government has introduced tuition fees in all public primary schools.

But Ministry of Education interim spokesperson Manfred Ndovi said government has no intentions to introduce fees in primary schools.

Govt clears reports about free primary school abolition.

“We are just getting these reports on the social media that government has introduced fees for primary school students. As ministry of education, we would like to tell the general public that those rumours are not true. Government schools are still offering free primary education,” said Ndovi.

As part of Public reforms government has initiated a number of changes in government sectors including hiking secondary school and tertiary education fees, and abolishing the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE) and Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) examination.

But, former Speaker of the National Assembly Sam Mpasu condemned government abolishing the PSLCE and JCE certificates, arguing that this was an illegal move.

“The decision is illegal because it is the Parliament that approved Education Act and this Act has a number of certificates. Therefore, the abolishing was supposed to be approved by members of parliament not just through signing by the President,” observed Mpasu.

Mpasu recalled that the decision to abolish JCE examinations was once implemented during Kamuzu Banda’s reign but this was later reversed as it had some negative implications on education.

Free primary school was introduced by Malawi’s first ever democratically elected President, Bakili Muluzi after the 1994 general elections.

Muluzi initiated this as one way of ensuring that many children easily access primary education.

A GIRL WITH FISTULA (17 yrs old) SAID “Fistula is a very bad thing. Feces would come out from my urinary tract. I smelled badly, leaked urine and my friends isolated me. My boyfriend quit school to start work as a bus conductor to support me. But all this happened because I accidentally got pregnant while young, cos I didnt know about emergency contraception”. Fistula is just one of the complications that happen to ladies. 529, 000 women develop complications like these every year in Africa. Millions more die from pregnancy-related causes. But all this is because of lack of information. For this reason, “Ubereki Health Network” is providing reproductive health information to all men, women and youths regarding issues like contraceptives, fistulas, circumcision, menstrual problems, fibroids, cervical cancer, pregnancy issues etc!!!

MY NEIGHBOUR’S WIFE HAD 5 (FIVE) MISCARRIAGES!!! Her husband divorced her saying she “kills” babies. She was so distressed. She went to many witch doctors but nothing changed. She wasted a lot of money and tried many more things, to no avail 🙁 🙁 🙁 Fortunately, she heard about a certain organisation which helped her know the cause of her problem. She learnt that a cervical problem and her habit of taking herbal drugs in pregnancy were the causes. Then her cervix was repaired at the hospital and she stopped taking herbal concoctions. Now she has twins, a bouncing boy and a cute girl 🙂 🙂 :). Her family is back on and they are happy. She thanks “Ubereki Health Network”, the organisation which transformed her reproductive life. Ubereki Health Network provides reproductive health information to all men and women on issues regarding pregnancy, menstruation, fistula, circumcision, fibroids, contraception and many more!
